“What does it take to become a great safety leader?” is the question posed by Thomas Krause in Leading with Safety. Krause’s years of research and experience in the field of safety management gives us the answer, with a comprehensive new model for understanding safety leadership, with real-world examples of organizations that have put this model into practice, including Shell Chemical, LP, Petro-Canada, and PotashCorp, as well as NASA’s approach to transforming its organizational culture and safety climate.

How safety leadership assures improvement

The primary importance of the Working Interface

The personality, values, emotional commitment and leadership style of the effective safety leader

The central role of leadership in safety

The Organizational Culture Diagnostic Measurement (OCDI)

The safety improvement process from the worker’s point of view

Development of a strategic plan for safety improvement

Includes a CD-ROM containing a self-assessment tool that will help safety leaders discover where they fall in the safety leadership spectrum and in what areas they need to improve. Leading with Safety is a valuable tool for anyone who wants to make their mark as a safety leading while improving their company’s bottom line.

“A must for those who aspire to lead change in a meaningful way. This book is a powerful blend of leadership theory and philosophy combined with the 'how to' often missing in management literature.”
